Hi,
I’m trying to get Geoserver (latest stable) running on XAMPP 1.8.2 and Tomcat 7 (as bundled) on Windows 7 64 bit.
I am not interested in the all in one installation as it does not suit our requirements.
I have tried to load the war file through the Tomcat Manager-Gui but I get a file too big error.
So, I copied the war file to …/tomcat/webapps/ and restarted tomcat.
It still fails to deploy.
Currently the first error is:
“SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.geoserver.platform.GeoServerContextLoaderListener
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: security\config.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)”
Now, under the newly created geoserver directory there are the following
data/
META-INF
WEB-INF
index.html
Under ./data/ there is a “security” folder with config.xml in it.
So why cant the geoserver application find it?
Is there a setting I’m missing?
Why is this so hard?

Hi thanks for getting back.
I fixed the too large to load issue in web/xml of the tomcat manager app.
I have deleted the application directory a number of times and tried new
deployments often.
But I still get :
"Dec 03, 2013 11:37:45 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of
class org.geoserver.platform.GeoServerContextLoaderListener
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
security\config.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)
"
The directory structure is"
....\tomcat\webapps\geoserver\data
\security\config.xml
.....
The file permission are set to allow the tomcat user full control if
necessary on the file. I've run the startup batch file as administrator
with no success.
This is a really tedious issue and has about convinced me that there is too
much uncertainty about geoserver in this environment and maybe some
alternatives are needed.
Any and all helpful and not so helpful suggestions will be gratefully
received.
Shouldn't this be simple.

Known issue, it seems to be happening only in certain environments, and not
in others: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6186
There is a patch, we're waiting for some feedback from the developer that
normally
works in that area of code
Cheers
Andrea
